Eyes wide open, and all three winning images showed off the theme very well. A huge thank you to Mike Poole who chose the top three images and he went with images that fitted the theme.

1st Place - Juan Tolentino - Burrowing Owl with Sunset in the eye - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/141496

2nd Place - Glenn Pure - Satin Bowerbird - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/141332

3rd Place - Jay Shah - Look of a Predator - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php/141217

Big congrats to Juan, Glenn and Jay. Fine images to suit the theme.

Its still early days, but I see that September's theme of Juveniles has already started nicely. Remember to have the prefix ' theme' before your title to be considered for selection.

Happy Shooting.
